By Kyeland Jackson —
U of L’s controversial confederate statue has a new home: Brandenburg.
Mayor Greg Fischer’s office announced the move in a news release Tuesday, stating the statue is moving to a civil war site in Brandenburg, Kentucky. A time capsule, supposedly embedded in statue, will be loaned to the Filson Historical Society.
“This new location provides an opportunity to remember and respect our history in a more proper context,” Fischer said. “And it’s close enough that Louisvillians can visit.
